3D-printing enables more complex part geometry and small batch/one-off production without the need for mold design. However, these are the only advantages over injection molding, and there are a ton of other competing materials available for additive manufacturing, while Liquidmetal is the only game in town for one-step net shape MIM. Otherwise, 3D is tremendously slower, can't produce good surface finishes without post-processing, and whether the parts are completely amorphous still seems to be an open question.

It's a good complementary technology for the world of BMG, but doesn't diminish the value of our tech at all.
